Royal Caribbean Desserted Milkshake Bar Menu, Prices & Guide
Desserted Milkshake Bar is Royal Caribbean’s over-the-top milkshake venue on its Icon Class cruise ships. Instead of ordinary shakes, Desserted specializes in elaborate creations piled high with ice cream, cookies, candy, popcorn, cake and other toppings. Adults can also turn the specialty shakes into alcoholic versions by adding the suggested liquor.
The current Desserted menu includes five specialty milkshakes priced from $14 to $18, along with $9 classic shakes and $7 floats. Optional shots of alcohol are $5.

Which Royal Caribbean Ships Have Desserted?
Desserted is an Icon Class venue rather than a fleetwide Royal Caribbean restaurant.
Royal Caribbean currently lists Desserted on:
• Icon of the Seas
• Star of the Seas
• Legend of the Seas
The venue was introduced with Icon of the Seas and combines the colorful atmosphere of the ship’s Thrill Island neighborhood with some of Royal Caribbean’s most elaborate desserts.
Because Royal Caribbean can update venues and menus as ships enter service and undergo changes, passengers should always check the current information for their particular sailing.
Royal Caribbean Desserted Milkshake Bar Menu
There are five featured specialty milkshakes on the photographed Desserted menu. Four cost $14, while the larger Stranded Burro costs $18.
Each specialty shake also has a suggested alcoholic addition for adults for an extra $5.

• Dulce de leche
• Donut pieces
• Vanilla icing
• Cinnamon cereal
• Cinnamon candy
• Caramel popcorn
• Whipped cream
For adults, the menu suggests adding a shot of Fireball Cinnamon whisky for $5.
The combination of donuts, cereal, candy and popcorn makes this the most heavily loaded shake on the menu.

Birthday Cake Craze starts with a birthday cake milkshake and adds:
• Vanilla ice cream
• Strawberry Pocky
• Mini cupcakes
• Rainbow sprinkles
• Vanilla icing
• Whipped cream
The adult version can be upgraded with a shot of vanilla vodka for an additional $5.

• Vanilla icing
• Chocolate syrup
• A Hershey’s Cookies ’n’ Creme bar

The chocolate milkshake comes topped with:
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Chocolate sprinkles
• Vanilla icing
• M&M’s
• Brownie crumbles
• Chocolate syrup
• Whipped cream
The suggested adult addition is a $5 shot of Baileys Irish Cream liqueur.
Strawberry Chipwreck – $14
Strawberry Chipwreck starts with a strawberry milkshake and adds a particularly colorful selection of toppings:
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• White chocolate chips
• Rainbow sprinkles
• Vanilla icing
• Strawberry macaron
• Strawberries
• Rainbow sour strips
• Whipped cream
Adults can add a shot of vanilla vodka for $5.
Classic Shakes – $9
Passengers who want a milkshake without all of the elaborate toppings can choose one of the $9 classic shakes.
The menu lists:
• Vanilla
• Chocolate
• Cookies & Cream
• Mint
• Strawberry
These are considerably less expensive than the specialty creations, with the specialty shakes costing between $14 and $18 before adding alcohol.
Floats – $7
Desserted also serves floats for $7.
The menu lists three choices:
• Coca Cola
• Fanta Orange
• Root Beer
These are the least expensive items shown on the Desserted menu.
How Much Do Desserted Milkshakes Cost?
Based on the photographed menu, prices are:
• Specialty milkshakes: $14–$18
• Classic shakes: $9
• Floats: $7
• Alcohol additions to specialty shakes: $5
The Stranded Burro is the most expensive non-alcoholic option at $18.
Adding the suggested Fireball shot brings a Stranded Burro to $23 before any applicable gratuity or tax.
The other four specialty shakes cost $14 each, or $19 after adding their suggested $5 alcoholic shot, again before any applicable gratuity or tax.
Does Royal Caribbean Add Gratuity to Desserted?
The menu includes a notice stating that an 18% gratuity will be added for certain ports or itineraries and that VAT may apply.
Because taxes and gratuities can depend on where a ship is sailing, the final charge may therefore differ from the menu price in some circumstances.
Are Desserted Milkshakes Included in a Royal Caribbean Drink Package?
No. Royal Caribbean specifically excludes beverages served inside Desserted Milkshake Bar from its beverage packages.
That is an important detail for anyone considering whether to buy Royal Caribbean’s Deluxe Beverage Package or Refreshment Package. Even if you have a beverage package, you should expect Desserted purchases to be an additional expense.
Where Is Desserted on the Ship?
Desserted is associated with Thrill Island, the Icon Class neighborhood built around some of Royal Caribbean’s biggest outdoor attractions.
That location fits the concept: Desserted is designed as a quick, colorful treat rather than a traditional sit-down cruise restaurant.
Passengers planning their onboard activities can combine a stop at Desserted with time spent exploring the surrounding attractions rather than making a separate trip solely for dessert.
Are There Alcoholic Milkshakes at Desserted?
Yes. Every specialty shake on the photographed menu includes an optional alcoholic upgrade for adults.
The suggested combinations are:
• Stranded Burro – Fireball Cinnamon whisky
• Birthday Cake Craze – Vanilla vodka
• Oreoasis – Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
• Chocolate Castaway – Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
• Strawberry Chipwreck – Vanilla vodka
Each suggested shot costs an additional $5 on this menu.
The base milkshakes are non-alcoholic, so families and passengers who do not drink alcohol can order the same specialty creations without the added liquor.
Desserted vs. Royal Caribbean’s Complimentary Ice Cream
Desserted should not be confused with Sprinkles, Royal Caribbean’s complimentary soft-serve ice cream.
Sprinkles serves basic chocolate and vanilla soft serve at no additional charge, while Desserted is a premium, extra-cost venue centered around oversized specialty milkshakes.
For passengers deciding where to spend extra on cruise dining, that distinction is important. You do not need to pay for ice cream simply because you are sailing on an Icon Class ship. Desserted is an optional treat.
Is Desserted Worth the Extra Cost?
Whether Desserted is worth $14 to $18 depends heavily on what you want from it.
These are not conventional milkshakes. The specialty creations combine the drink itself with what can amount to an entire dessert assortment sitting on top of the glass.
For someone primarily interested in a milkshake, the $9 classic shakes provide a less expensive alternative. The $14 and $18 specialty creations make more sense for passengers who specifically want the full Desserted experience with the elaborate toppings.
And because Desserted is not covered by Royal Caribbean’s beverage packages, the cost is worth considering even for passengers who have already purchased an unlimited drink package.
